Canon Pixma MX340 printer. How to clear Error 5200?

PaulR — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:47:40 GMT

I have a Canon Pixma MX340 multi-function printer. How do I clear Error 5200? The message said to turn the printer off and then on, and if that did not clear the error to consult the user's manual. On/off did not clear the error, and the online user's manual does not have Error 5200.

To try and resolve the 5200 error, please unplug the power cord from the back of the unit and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on.

How, how, how did you figure this out? It worked!!! After using my daughter's printer with a very short cord that we never use for a month, ii finally came across your post. I almost did not do it, but am so tired of moving my computer so close that it reached the printer cord I tried one more thing-yours. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
